Description: In this lecture from James Maynard from his 1st Year Linear Algebra II course we introduce the idea of 'eigenvectors', which are vectors that are stretched by a linear transformation. Looking at eigenvectors gives a very useful perspective for understanding linear maps. You can access the course materials here: maths.ox.ac.uk/system/files/attachments/LinearAlgebraII.pdf You can watch many other student lectures via our main Student Lectures playlist (also check out specific student lectures playlists): youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4d5ZtfQonW0A4VHeiY0gSkX1QEraaacE All first and second year lectures are followed by tutorials where students meet their tutor to go through the lecture and associated problem sheet and to talk and think more about the maths. Third and fourth year lectures are followed by classes.
